Annotation

This study explores the influence of a transition to small New York City high schools since 2002 on Latino and emergent bilinguals (EBs) students. This transition appears to account for higher academic achievement on the grounds of credit accumulation and for higher four and six-year graduation rates amongst Ebs students.
